Friends & fellow Twaniacs,

    A review copy of the version of ROUGHING IT arrived here unto the
Record-Journal only several weeks ago; we decided not to review it because
only one cable system in our coverage area carries the Hallmark Channel, and
apparently only about 6.7 people actually have the darned thing.
    I will watch it before it airs, however, and issue appropriate warnings
to fellow forum members as necessary.

P.S. There was a fascinating apologia from Ken Burns on l'affaire Doris
Goodwin in, I think, The Globe today. Once you get really famous, he seemed
to be saying, people will pick on you no matter what. That kind of indicated
to me that Burns has done more than his fair share of not giving credit where
it's due.
     It brought to mind that throwaway line of Tom Lehrer's in "Werner von
Braun": "In the academy, we don't call it stealing. We call it research."
